Hello Taylor,
Depending on what software you already have you may not need to transcode to ProRes,
Since many NLE's natively support DPX such as Color and After Effects,
Here is a link to our Post Workflow Section, specifying everyone who supports DPX files,

Also if you have Cineform, it can direct encode to ProRes, if you choose to go that route,
Also feel free to contact us directly about any workflow question's.
